¹ A Psalm of Asaph God, Jehovah God has spoken, and calls to the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting. ² Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God has shone. ³ Our God comes, and He is not silent; a fire shall devour before Him; and it shall be very stormy around Him. ⁴ He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, to judge His people. ⁵ Gather My saints together to Me, those who cut My covenant by sacrifice. ⁶ And the heavens shall declare His righteousness, for God Himself is judge.

⁷ Then the earth shook and trembled; and the foundations of the mountains moved and were shaken, because it angered Him. ⁸ A smoke went up out of His nostrils, and fire devoured out of His mouth; coals were kindled from it. ⁹ He bowed the heavens also and came down, and darkness was under His feet; ¹⁰ and He rode on a cherub, and He flew; yea He soared on the wings of the wind; ¹¹ He made darkness His covering, His pavilion all around Him, darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies. ¹² Out of the brightness before Him, His dark clouds passed through, hailstones and coals of fire. ¹³ Jehovah also thundered in the heavens; and the Highest uttered His voice, hailstones and coals of fire. ¹⁴ Yea, He sent out His arrows and scattered them; and He shot out lightnings and confounded them. ¹⁵ Then the stream beds of waters were seen, and the foundations of the earth were bared at Your rebuke, O Jehovah, at the blast of the breath of Your nostrils.

²¹ You have done these things, and I have kept silence; you thought that surely I would be like you; but I will rebuke you and set in order before your eyes.

⁶ Behold! It is written before Me: I will not be silent, except I repay; yea, I will repay to their bosom, ⁷ our iniquities and the iniquities of your fathers together, says Jehovah; they that burned incense on the mountains, and have blasphemed Me on the hills. And I will measure their former work on their bosom.

¹⁰ A stream of fire went out and came out from before Him. A thousand thousands served Him, and a myriad myriads stood before Him. The court was set and the books were opened.

⁵ The mountains quake from Him, and the hills melt; and the earth is lifted up from before Him, even the world and all who dwell in it. ⁶ Who can stand before His fury? And who can rise against the heat of His anger?

⁵ A plague goes before Him, and lightning went forth at His feet.

² But who can endure the day of His coming? And who will stand when He appears?

⁸ in flaming fire giving full vengeance to those not knowing God, and to those not obeying the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, Isa. 66:15; Jer. 10:25 ⁹ who will pay the penalty: everlasting destruction from the face of the Lord, "and from the glory of His strength," Isa. 2:20

³ how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation? Which having received a beginning to be spoken through the Lord, was confirmed to us by the ones hearing,

²⁸ If anyone did not regard the Law of Moses, that one dies without pities on " the word of two or three witnesses." Deut. 17:6 ²⁹ How much worse punishment do you think will be thought worthy to receive, the one trampling the Son of God, and having counted common the blood of the covenant in which he was sanctified, and having insulted the Spirit of grace?

¹⁸ For you have not drawn near to the mountain being touched, and having been lit with fire, and to gloom, and darkness, and tempest, ¹⁹ and to a sound of trumpet, and to a voice of words, which those hearing begged that not a word be added to them; ²⁰ for they could not bear the thing enjoined: "Even" "if a beast" "touches the mountain, it will be stoned, or shot through" with a dart. Ex. 19:12, 13 ²¹ And so fearful was the thing appearing, Moses said, "I am terrified and trembling." Deut. 9:19

²⁹ for also, Our God is a consuming fire." Deut. 4:24

²⁰ The One testifying these things says, Yes, I am coming quickly. Amen. Yes, come, Lord Jesus!

¹⁹ I call Heaven and earth to witness against you today that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. Therefore, choose life, that you may live, you and your seed,

²⁸ Assemble to me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, and I shall speak in their ears these words, and cause Heaven and the earth to testify against them.

¹ Give ear, O heavens, and I will speak. And hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.

⁶ And the heavens shall declare His righteousness, for God Himself is judge. Selah.

⁹ before Jehovah; for He comes to judge the earth; with righteousness He shall judge the world, and the peoples in uprightness.

³ And He is made to breathe in the fear of Jehovah. But He shall not judge by the seeing of His eyes, nor decide by the hearing of His ears. ⁴ But He shall judge the poor in righteousness, and shall decide rightly for the meek of the earth. And He shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, and He shall slay the wicked with the breath of His lips.

¹ Hear now what Jehovah says: Rise up, contend with the mountains, and let the hills hear your voice. ² Mountains, and you enduring foundations of the earth, hear the contention of Jehovah, for Jehovah has a quarrel with His people, and He will dispute with Israel.

²² For the Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son, ²³ so that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. The one not honoring the Son does not honor the Father who has sent Him.

³ And Moses came and told all the words of Jehovah to the people, and all the judgments. And all the people answered with one voice and said, We will do all the words which Jehovah has spoken. ⁴ And Moses wrote all the words of Jehovah. And he rose early in the morning and built an altar below the mountain, and twelve memorial pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel. ⁵ And he sent young men of the sons of Israel. And they offered up burnt offerings, and offered sacrifices of bullocks, peace offerings to Jehovah. ⁶ And Moses took half of the blood, and he put it in basins. And he sprinkled half of the blood on the altar. ⁷ And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the ears of the people. And they said We will do all that Jehovah has spoken, and we will hear. ⁸ And Moses took the blood and sprinkled on the people, and said, Behold, the blood of the covenant which Jehovah has cut with you concerning these words.

² And he said: Jehovah came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir for them; He shone forth from Mount Paran, and He came from the myriads of holy ones. At his right hand a law of fire went forth to them. ³ Yes, He loves the peoples; all His holy ones are in Your hand; and they sit down at Your feet; He lifts up each at Your words.

⁴ Sing praises to Jehovah, O saints of His; and give thanks to the memory of His holiness.

¹⁰ You who love Jehovah, hate evil. He keeps the souls of His saints; He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.

⁸ to guard the paths of judgment, and He protects the way of His saints.

³ I have commanded My holy ones; I have also called My warriors for My anger, those who rejoice in My highness.

⁵ And you shall flee to the valley of My mountains, for the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azal. And you shall flee as you fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah, king of Judah. And Jehovah my God shall come, and all the saints with You.

³¹ And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather His elect from the four winds, from the ends of the heavens to their ends.

²⁸ For this is My blood of the New Covenant which concerning many is being poured out for remission of sins.

² Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is judged by you, are you unworthy of small judgments? ³ Do you not know that we shall judge angels, not to speak of this life?

¹³ in order to establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and our Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints.

¹⁶ Because the Lord Himself shall come down from Heaven with a commanding shout of an archangel's voice, and with God's trumpet. And the dead in Christ will rise again first. ¹⁷ Then we who remain alive will be caught up together with them in the clouds to a meeting with the Lord in the air. And so we will always be with the Lord.

¹ And, brothers, we entreat you, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and of our gathering together to Him,

¹⁰ but only on foods and drinks, and various washings, and fleshly ordinances, until the time of setting things right has been imposed. ¹¹ But Christ having appeared as a High Priest of the coming good things, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation, ¹² nor through the blood of goats and of calves, but through His own blood, He entered once for all into the Holy of Holies, having procured everlasting redemption. ¹³ For if the blood of bulls and goats, and ashes of a heifer sprinkling those having been defiled, sanctifies to the purity of the flesh, ¹⁴ by how much more the blood of Christ (who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God), will purify your conscience from dead works for the serving of the living God! ¹⁵ And because of this He is Mediator of a new covenant, so that, death having occurred for redemption of transgressions under the first covenant, those having been called out might receive the promise of the everlasting inheritance. ¹⁶ For where a covenant is, the death of him having covenanted must be offered. ¹⁷ For a covenant is affirmed over those dead, since it never has force when he who has covenanted is living. ¹⁸ From which neither the first covenant was dedicated without blood. ¹⁹ For when every command had been spoken according to Law by Moses to all the people, he took the blood of the calves and goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and he sprinkled both the scroll and all the people, ²⁰ saying, "This is the blood of the covenant which God enjoined to you." Ex. 24:8 ²¹ And he likewise sprinkled both the tabernacle and all the service vessels with the blood. ²² And almost all things are cleansed by blood according to the Law; and apart from shedding of blood no remission occurs. ²³ Then it was needful for the figures of the things in the heavens to be cleansed with these; but the heavenly things themselves by better sacrifices than these.

²⁴ and to Jesus the Mediator of a new covenant, and to blood of sprinkling speaking better things than that of Abel.

²⁰ Now the God of Peace, He leading up out of the dead, the great Shepherd of the sheep, in the blood of the everlasting covenant, our Lord Jesus,

¹⁴ And "the seventh from Adam," Enoch, also prophesied to these men, saying, Behold, "the Lord came with" myriads "of His saints,"

²⁵ Far be it from You to act in this way, to put to death the righteous with the wicked. Far be it from You. The Judge of all the earth, shall He not do right?

³ O Jehovah, my God, if I have done this, if there is iniquity in my hands: ⁴ if I have repaid evil to my friend or I have plundered my vexer without cause, ⁵ let the enemy pursue and overtake my soul; yea, trample down my life to earth, and lay my honor in the dust. Selah.

¹⁶ Jehovah has been known, He has executed judgment; the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. A meditation, Selah.

⁷ but God is the judge; He puts down this one and lifts up this other .

⁵ And the heavens shall thank Your wonders, O Jehovah; also Your faithfulness in the assembly of the saints.

⁶ The heavens declare His righteousness and all the people see His glory.

⁵ But according to your hardness and your impenitent heart, do you treasure up to yourself wrath in a day of wrath, and revelation of a righteous judgment of God?

⁹ For this Christ both died and rose and lived again, that He might be Lord over both the dead and the living. ¹⁰ But why do you judge your brother? Or why also do you despise your brother? For all shall stand before the judgment seat of Christ. ¹¹ For it has been written, " As I live, says the Lord, that every knee will bow to Me, and every tongue confess to God." Isa. 49:18; 45:23 ¹² So then each one of us will give account concerning himself to God.

¹⁰ For we all must appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive the things done through the body, according to what he did, whether good or bad.

⁵ And I heard the angel of the waters saying, You are righteous, Lord, the One who is, and who was, and who will be, because You judged these things, ⁶ since they poured out the blood of the saints and of the prophets; and You gave blood to them to drink, for they were deserving. ⁷ And I heard another out of the altar saying, Yes, Lord God Almighty, Your judgments are true and righteous.

² For true and righteous are His judgments, because He judged the great harlot who defiled the earth with her fornication. And He avenged the blood of His slaves out of her hand.

¹¹ And I saw a great white throne, and the One sitting on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled; and a place was not found for them. ¹² And I saw the dead, the small and the great, standing before God. And books were opened. And another Book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged out of the things written in the books, according to their works.

⁵ And now if you will surely listen to My voice, and will keep My covenant, you shall become a special treasure to Me above all the nations, for all the earth is Mine. ⁶ And you shall become a kingdom of priests for Me, a holy nation. These are the words which you shall speak to the sons of Israel.

² I am Jehovah your God, who has brought you out from the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

¹⁷ You have today declared Jehovah to be your God, and to walk in His ways, and to keep His statutes and His commands, and His judgments, and to pay attention to His voice. ¹⁸ And Jehovah has declared you today to be His people, a special treasure as He has spoken to you, and to keep all His commands.

¹⁹ Now, then, write this song for you, and teach it to the sons of Israel. Put it in their mouths, so that this song shall be for a witness to Me against the sons of Israel. ²⁰ And I shall bring them into the land flowing with milk and honey, which I have sworn to their fathers. And you shall eat and be satisfied, and become fat, and shall turn to other gods; and they shall serve them, and despise Me, and break My covenant. ²¹ And it shall be, when many evils and distresses have found them, this song shall testify against them as a witness. For it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed. For I know their imagination which they are making today, before I bring them into the land which I have sworn.

²² For Jehovah will not abandon His people, for the sake of His great name. For Jehovah undertakes to make you a people for Himself. ²³ Also I, far be it from me from sinning against Jehovah, from ceasing to pray for you. But I will instruct you in the good and the right way. ²⁴ Only fear Jehovah and serve Him in truth with all your heart, for see that He has done great things for you. ²⁵ But if you still do evilly, both you and your king will be swept away.

¹³ And Jehovah testified against Israel, and against Judah, by the hand of all His prophets, and every seer, saying, Turn back from your evil ways, and keep My commands, My statutes, according to all the law that I commanded your fathers, and that I sent to you by the hand of My servants the prophets.

⁵ And Jehovah his God gave him into the hand of the king of Syria, and they struck him, and captured from him a great captivity, and brought them to Damascus. And he also was given into the hand of the king of Israel, and he struck him with a great destruction.

²⁹ And You testified against them to bring them again to Your Law, but they seethed, and did not listen to Your commands, but were against Your judgments; they sinned in them, which if a man do, he shall live in them. And they gave a rebellious shoulder, and hardened their neck, and would not hear. ³⁰ But many years You had patience with them, and testified against them by Your Spirit, by Your prophets. Yet they would not give ear. And You gave them into the hand of the peoples of the lands.

¹ To the chief musician, A Psalm for the Sons of Korah. Hear this all peoples listen, all inhabitants of the world.

⁸ My people, listen, and I will testify against you, whether you will listen to Me:

¹⁰ I am Jehovah your God who brought you out from the land of Egypt; open your mouth wide, and I will fill it. ¹¹ But My people would not listen to My voice, and Israel did not consent to Me. ¹² So I gave them up to the stubbornness of their own hearts; they walked in their own conceits.

¹⁸ Come now and let us reason together, says Jehovah: Though your sins are as scarlet, they shall be white as snow; though they are red as the crimson, they shall be like wool.

⁴ Hear the word of Jehovah, O house of Jacob and all the families of the house of Israel. ⁵ So says Jehovah, What iniquity have your fathers found in Me, that they went far from Me and have walked after vanity, and have become vain?

⁹ Therefore, I will contend with you, says Jehovah, and I will contend with your sons' sons.

⁵ And say to them, So says the Lord Jehovah: In the day I chose Israel and lifted My hand to the seed of the house of Jacob, and I was made known to them in the land of Egypt, when I lifted up My hand to them, saying, I am Jehovah your God.

⁷ Then I said to them, Let each man cast away the filthy idols of his eyes, and do not defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt; I am Jehovah your God.

¹⁹ I am Jehovah your God, walk in My statutes, and keep My judgments, and do them. ²⁰ And keep My sabbaths holy, and they shall be a sign between Me and you, that you may know that I am Jehovah your God.

¹ Hear now what Jehovah says: Rise up, contend with the mountains, and let the hills hear your voice. ² Mountains, and you enduring foundations of the earth, hear the contention of Jehovah, for Jehovah has a quarrel with His people, and He will dispute with Israel. ³ My people, what have I done to you? And how have I made you weary? Answer against Me. ⁴ For I brought you up out of the land of Egypt and redeemed you out of the house of slaves; and I sent Moses, Aaron, and Miriam before you. ⁵ My people, remember now what Balak, king of Moab, planned; and what Balaam, the son of Beor, answered him from Shittim to Gilgal, so that you may know the righteousnesses of Jehovah. ⁶ With what shall I come before Jehovah, to bow myself before the loftiness of God? Shall I come before Him with burnt offerings, with calves, sons of a year? ⁷ Will Jehovah be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousands of torrents of oil? Shall I give my first-born for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? ⁸ O man, He has declared to you what is good. And what does Jehovah require of you, but to do justice, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?

⁹ And I will bring the third part through the fire, and I will refine them as silver is refined. And I will try them as gold is tried. They shall call on My name, and I will answer them. I will say, It is My people, and they shall say, Jehovah is my God.

⁵ And I will come near to you for judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against those swearing to a lie; and against those who extort from the hired laborer's pay; and turning away the widow, and the fatherless, and the alien, and not fearing Me, says Jehovah of hosts.

⁶ Sacrifice and offering You did not desire; You have opened ears to Me. You have not asked burnt offering and sin offering. ⁷ Then I said, Lo, I come, in the roll of the Book it is written of Me; ⁸ I delight to do Your will, O My God; and Your law is within My inmost soul .

¹⁶ For you do not desire sacrifice, or I would give it; You do not delight in burnt offering.

¹¹ What good to Me are your many sacrifices, says Jehovah? I am full of burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fattened cattle, and the blood of bulls; nor do I delight in the blood of lambs and he goats. ¹² When you come to see My face, who has required this at your hand, to trample My courts? ¹³ Do not add to bringing vain sacrifice; its incense is an abomination to Me. I cannot endure the new moon and sabbath, the going to meeting, and the evil assembly. ¹⁴ My soul hates your new moons and your appointed feasts. They are a burden to Me. I am weary of bearing them . ¹⁵ And when you spread out your hands, I will hide My eyes from you. Yea, when you multiply prayer, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood. ¹⁶ Wash yourselves, purify yourselves. Put away the evil of your doings from My sight; stop doing evil. ¹⁷ Learn to do good, seek justice, reprove the oppressor, judge the orphan, strive for the widow. ¹⁸ Come now and let us reason together, says Jehovah: Though your sins are as scarlet, they shall be white as snow; though they are red as the crimson, they shall be like wool. ¹⁹ If you are willing and hear, you shall eat the good of the land. ²⁰ But if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured with the sword; for the mouth of Jehovah has spoken. ²¹ Oh how the faithful city has become a harlot! She was full of justice; righteousness lodged in it. But now, murderers! ²² Your silver has become dross; your wine is diluted with water. ²³ Your princes are rebellious and companions of thieves. Everyone loves a bribe, and is pursuing rewards. They do not judge the orphan, nor does the cause of the widow come to them, ²⁴ and says the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Alas! I will be eased of My foes, and avenge Myself of My enemies. ²⁵ And I will return My hand on you, and refine your dross, as with lye, and take away all your alloy. ²⁶ And I will return your judges as at the first; and your advisors, as at the beginning; then you shall be called the city of righteousness, a faithful town. ²⁷ Zion shall be redeemed with justice, and her returning ones with righteousness. ²⁸ And the ruin of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together. And those who forsake Jehovah shall be consumed. ²⁹ For they shall be ashamed of the trees which you lusted after; and you shall be ashamed of the gardens that you have chosen. ³⁰ For you shall be like a tree whose leaf fades, and like a garden that has no water in it. ³¹ And the strong shall be for tow, and his work for a spark; and they shall burn both together; and no one shall quench them .

²¹ So says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Add your burnt offerings to your sacrifices and eat flesh. ²² For I did not speak to your fathers, nor command them in the day that I brought them out from the land of Egypt, concerning matters of burnt offerings and sacrifices. ²³ But I commanded them this thing, saying, Obey My voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be My people. Also, Walk in all the ways that I have commanded you, so that it may be well with you.

⁶ For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.

⁴ for it is not possible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. ⁵ For this reason, coming into the world, He says, "Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but You prepared a body for Me. ⁶ You did not delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices concerning sins." ⁷ "Then I said, Lo, I come, in the heading of the Book, it was written concerning Me, to do Your will, O God." LXX-Psa. 39:7 -9; MT-Psa. 40:6 -8 ⁸ Above, saying, "You did not desire nor were pleased with sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and sacrifices concerning sins," (which are offered according to the Law), ⁹ then He said, "Lo, I come to do Your will, O God." He takes away the first in order that He may set up the second; ¹⁰ by which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

³¹ And it shall please Jehovah more than bulls, horned or hoofed bull.

²³ You have not brought Me the lamb of your burnt offerings; even your sacrifices have not honored Me. I have not caused you to serve with an offering, nor wearied you with incense. ²⁴ You have not bought calamus for Me with silver, nor have you filled Me with fat of your sacrifices; but you made Me serve by your sins; you wearied Me by your iniquities.

²⁵ nor is served by hands of men, as having need of anything. For He is giving life and breath and all things to all.

⁴ for it is not possible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. ⁵ For this reason, coming into the world, He says, "Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but You prepared a body for Me. ⁶ You did not delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices concerning sins."

²⁴ And God said, Let the earth bring forth the soul of life according to its kind: cattle, and creepers, and its beasts of the earth, according to its kind. And it was so. ²⁵ And God made the beasts of the earth according to its kind, and cattle according to its kind, and all creepers of the ground according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

¹⁹ And Jehovah God formed every animal of the field, and every bird of the heavens out of the ground. And He brought them to the man, to see what he would call it. And all which the man might call it, each living soul, that was its name.

¹⁷ Bring out from you every living thing that is with you, of all flesh, of fowl, of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creeps on the earth; and let them swarm on the earth, and bear, and multiply on the earth.

² And your fear and your dread shall be on all the animals of the earth, and on every bird of the heavens, on all that moves on the earth, and on all the fish of the sea. They are given into your hands. ³ Every creeping thing which is alive shall be food for you. I have given you all things, even as the green plant.

⁹ And God has taken away the livestock of your father and has given to me.

¹⁴ yea, for who am I, and who my people, that we should be able to offer willingly in this way? For all is of You, and we have given to You out of Your hand; ¹⁵ for we are strangers before You, and settlers, like all our fathers; our days on the land are like a shadow, and there is none abiding. ¹⁶ O Jehovah our God, all this store that we have prepared to build a house to You, for Your holy name, is out of Your hand, and all is of You.

¹⁵ Now behold Behemoth, which I made along with you; he eats grass like an ox; ¹⁶ see, now, his strength is in his loins, and his force in the muscles of his belly; ¹⁷ he hangs his tail like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are knit together; ¹⁸ his bones are like tubes of bronze; his bones like bars of iron; ¹⁹ he is the first in the ways of God; his Maker brings near his sword. ²⁰ For the mountains yield food for him, and all the beasts of the field play there. ²¹ He lies under the lotus, in the hiding-place of the reed and the marsh; ²² the lotus trees cover him in its shadow; the willows of the torrent circle him. ²³ Behold, he is confident, even if Jordan burst forth against his mouth. ²⁴ Shall any take him before his eyes, or pierce his nose with snares?

⁶ You made him rule over the works of Your hands; You have put all under his feet, ⁷ all flocks and oxen, and also the animals of the field, ⁸ the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, all that pass through the sea.

¹⁴ He causes the grass to grow for the livestock and plants for the service of man, to bring food out of the earth.

²⁴ O Jehovah, how many are Your works! You have made all of them in wisdom; the earth is full of Your riches. ²⁵ This is the sea, great and wide on both hands; there are creeping things even without number; living things, small and great.

⁵ I have made the earth, the man, and the animals on the face of the earth, by My great power, and by My outstretched arm; and I have given it to whom it seemed right in My eyes. ⁶ And now I have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, My servant. And I have also given him the beast of the field to serve him.

³⁸ And wherever the sons of men, the animals of the field, and the birds of the sky dwell, He has given them into your hand, and has made you ruler over them all. You are the head of gold.

¹¹ and should I not have pity on Nineveh, the great city in which are more than a hundred and twenty thousand men who do not know between the right and the left hand, and many cattle?

²⁰ And God said, Let the waters swarm with swarmers having a soul of life; and let the birds fly over the earth, on the face of the expanse of the heavens. ²¹ And God created the great sea animals, and all that creeps, having a living soul, which swarmed the waters, according to its kind; and every bird with wing according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. ²² And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas; and let the birds multiply in the earth.

⁴¹ Who provides food for the raven, when its young ones cry to God and wander about without food?

¹³ The wing of the ostriches flap joyously, though not like the stork's pinions for flight. ¹⁴ For she leaves her eggs to the earth, and lets them warm on the dust; ¹⁵ and forgets that a foot may crush it, or the beast of the field may trample it; ¹⁶ she treats her young roughly, as if not hers; for her labor is vanity without fear; ¹⁷ because God has made her forget wisdom; and He has not given to her a share in understanding. ¹⁸ At the time she lifts up on high, she laughs at the horse and its rider.

²⁶ Does the hawk soar from your understanding? Will he spread his wings toward the south? ²⁷ Or does the eagle mount up at your mouth, and make his nest on high? ²⁸ He lives and stays on the rock, on the crag of the rock and the stronghold. ²⁹ From there he seeks food; his eyes see afar off. ³⁰ And his young brood also sucks up blood; and where the pierced ones are, there he is .

¹² over them the birds of the heavens dwell; they give voice from between the branches.

⁹ He gives the animals their food, to the young ravens that cry.

⁹ All beasts of the field come to devour, all beasts in the forest!

¹⁵ If I make evil beasts go through the land, and they bereave it, and it is desolate, so that no one would go through because of the beasts, ¹⁶ though these three men were in its midst, as I live, declares the Lord Jehovah, they would deliver neither sons nor daughters; they would only deliver themselves, but the land would be desolate.

²⁶ Observe the birds of the heaven, that they do not sow, nor do they reap, nor do they gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Do you not rather excel them?

²⁹ Are not two sparrows sold for an assarion? Yet not one of them shall fall to the ground without your Father. ³⁰ But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. ³¹ Then do not fear; you are better than many sparrows.

²⁴ Consider the ravens, for they do not sow, nor do they reap; to which there is no storehouse or barn, and God feeds them. How much rather you differ from the birds!

¹¹ And God said, Let the earth sprout tender sprouts, the plant seeding seed, the fruit tree producing fruit according to its kind, whichever seed is in it on the earth. And it was so. ¹² And the earth bore tender sprouts, the plant seeding seed according to its kind, and the fruit tree producing fruit according to its kind, whichever seed is in it. And God saw that it was good.

²⁸ And God blessed them; and God said to them, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over the fish of the sea, and over birds of the heavens, and over all beasts creeping on the earth. ²⁹ And God said, Behold, I have given you every plant seeding seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree in which is the fruit of a tree seeding seed; it shall be food for you. ³⁰ And to every beast of the earth, and to all birds of the heavens, and to every creeper on the earth which has in it a living soul, every green plant is for food. And it was so.

⁵ And now if you will surely listen to My voice, and will keep My covenant, you shall become a special treasure to Me above all the nations, for all the earth is Mine.

¹⁴ Behold, the heavens and the heavens of the heavens, the earth and all in it, belong to Jehovah your God.

¹¹ Who has gone before Me that I should repay? All under the heavens, it is Mine!

¹ A Psalm of David. The earth is Jehovah's, and the fullness of it; the world, and those who live in it. ² For He has founded it on the seas, and established it on the rivers.

²⁴ O Jehovah, how many are Your works! You have made all of them in wisdom; the earth is full of Your riches.

¹⁵ You are blessed to Jehovah, He who makes heavens and earth. ¹⁶ The heavens; the heavens are Jehovah's, but He has given the earth to the sons of men.

¹⁵ The eyes of all hope to You; and You give them their food in due time. ¹⁶ You open Your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing.

²⁶ for "the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness of it." Psa. 24:1 ²⁷ And if any of the unbelievers invite you, and you desire to go, eat everything set before you, examining nothing because of conscience. ²⁸ But if anyone tells you, This is slain in sacrifice to idols, do not eat, because of that one pointing it out, and the conscience; for "the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness of it." Psa. 24:1

² Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them, When a man makes a difficult vow by your evaluation, the persons shall be Jehovah's. ³ And your evaluation shall be of the male from a son of twenty years even until a son of sixty years; then your evaluation shall be fifty shekels of silver by the shekel of the sanctuary. ⁴ And if it is a female, then your evaluation shall be thirty shekels. ⁵ And if from a son of five years to a son of twenty years, then your evaluation shall be twenty shekels for the male and ten shekels for the female. ⁶ And if a son of a month even to a son of five years, then your evaluation shall be five shekels of silver for the male and three shekels of silver for the female. ⁷ And if from a son of sixty years and above, if a male, then your evaluation shall be fifteen shekels and for a female ten shekels. ⁸ but if he is too poor for your evaluation, then he shall be made to stand before the priest, and the priest shall value him; the priest shall value him according to the reach of him who vowed. ⁹ And if it is an animal of which they bring an offering to Jehovah, all that one gives of it to Jehovah is holy. ¹⁰ He shall not replace it, or change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good. And if he shall at all change animal for animal, then both it and that for which it is changed shall be holy. ¹¹ And if any unclean animal, or one which they may not bring as an offering to Jehovah, then he shall make stand the animal before the priest. ¹² And the priest shall value it, whether it is good or bad; as you the priest value it, so it shall be. ¹³ But if he really redeems it, then he shall add its fifth to your evaluation. ¹⁴ And when a man sanctifies his house as a holy thing to Jehovah, then the priest shall value it, whether good or bad. As the priest values it, so it shall stand. ¹⁵ And if he who is sanctifying shall redeem the house, then he shall add a fifth of the silver of its valuation, and it shall become his. ¹⁶ And if a man sanctifies a field of his property to Jehovah, then your valuation shall be according to its seed; a homer of barley seed at fifty shekels of silver. ¹⁷ If he shall sanctify his field from the year of jubilee, it shall stand according to your valuation. ¹⁸ And if he shall sanctify his field after the jubilee, then the priest shall count to him the silver according to the years which are left, to the year of the jubilee. And it shall be deducted from your estimation. ¹⁹ And if he sanctifying the field really will redeem it, then he shall add a fifth of the silver of your evaluation to it, and it shall rise to become his. ²⁰ And if he does not redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it is not to be redeemed any more. ²¹ And the field shall be holy to Jehovah when it goes out in the jubilee, as a field which is devoted. It shall be a possession to the priest. ²² And if he should devote a field of his purchase, which is not of the fields of his possession, ²³ then the priest shall count to him the amount of your valuation to the year of jubilee. And he shall give your valuation in that day, a holy thing to Jehovah. ²⁴ In the year of jubilee the field shall return to him from whom he bought it, to him who owns it in the land. ²⁵ And all your valuation shall be by the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel. ²⁶ However, no man shall dedicate a firstling, which is first-born to Jehovah among animals, whether ox or sheep; it is Jehovah's. ²⁷ And if among the unclean animals, then he shall ransom it at your valuation, and he shall add its fifth to it. And if it is not redeemed, then it shall be sold at your evaluation. ²⁸ But any devoted thing which a man devotes to Jehovah from all which belongs to him, of man or of animal, or of the field of his possession, it shall not be sold nor redeemed. Every devoted thing to Jehovah is most holy. ²⁹ No devoted thing which is dedicated by man shall be ransomed; it shall surely be put to death. ³⁰ And all the tithe of the land, of the seed of the land, of the fruit of the tree, shall be Jehovah's; it is holy to Jehovah. ³¹ And if a man really redeems any of his tithes, he shall add its fifth to it. ³² And all the tithe of the herd and of the flock, all that passes under the rod, a tenth shall be holy to Jehovah; ³³ he shall not search whether it is good or bad, nor shall he change it. And if he at all changes it, then it shall be that it and its substitute shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed. ³⁴ These are the commands which Jehovah has commanded Moses for the sons of Israel, on Mount Sinai.

² When a man vows a vow to Jehovah, or has sworn an oath to bind his soul with a bond, he shall not break his word; he shall do all that has gone out of his mouth. ³ And when a woman vows a vow to Jehovah, and has bound a bond in the house of her father in her youth, ⁴ and her father has heard her vow, and her bond with which she has bound her soul, and her father has remained silent as to her, then all her vows shall stand; and every bond with which she has bound her soul shall stand. ⁵ But if her father has prohibited her in the day he heard, none of her vows and her bond with which she has bound her soul shall stand. And Jehovah will forgive her because her father prohibited her. ⁶ And if she belongs to a husband, and her vows are on her, or a rash utterance on her lips with which she has bound her soul, ⁷ and her husband has heard, and in the day he heard he has remained silent as to her, then her vows shall stand, and her bond with which she has bound her soul shall stand. ⁸ And if in the day her husband hears, he prohibits her, then he has broken her vow which is on her, and the rash utterance of her lips with which she has bound her soul. And Jehovah will forgive her. ⁹ And as to the vow of a widow, or her that is divorced, all that she has bound on her soul shall be established on her. ¹⁰ And if she has vowed in the house of her husband, or bound a bond on her soul with an oath, ¹¹ and her husband has heard, and has remained silent as to her, and he has not prohibited her, then all her vows shall be established, and every bond with which she has bound her soul shall stand. ¹² And if her husband has certainly broken them in the day he heard, none of the utterance of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall stand; her husband has broken them. And Jehovah will forgive her. ¹³ Every vow and every oath, any bond to humble a soul, her husband shall establish it, or her husband shall break it. ¹⁴ And if her husband is altogether silent at her from day to day, then he has established all her vows or all her bonds which are on her; he has established them; for he remained silent as to her in the day he heard. ¹⁵ And if he at all breaks them after he hears, then he has borne her iniquity. ¹⁶ These are the statutes which Jehovah has commanded Moses between a man and his wife, between a father and his daughter in her youth in the house of her father.

²¹ When you shall vow a vow to Jehovah your God, you shall not delay to perform it; for Jehovah your God will certainly require it of you, and it shall be sin to you.

²⁵ My praise shall be of You in the great assembly; I will pay my vows before His fearers.

⁶ And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies, my encirclers, and I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises to Jehovah.

²³ Whoever offers thanks glorifies Me; and he who prepares a way, I will show the salvation of God to him.

¹² On me, O God, are Your vows; I will render to You thank offerings.

⁸ So I will sing praise to Your name forever, so that I may pay my vows day by day.

¹ To the chief musician. A Psalm and Song of David. To You silence is praise, O God, in Zion; and to You is a vow paid.

³⁰ I will praise God's name in a song; and I will magnify Him with thanks. ³¹ And it shall please Jehovah more than bulls, horned or hoofed bull.

¹¹ Vow and pay to Jehovah your God; let all that are around Him bring presents to the Fearful One.

²¹ Let them thank Jehovah for His mercy, and His wonders to the sons of man. ²² And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and recount His works with rejoicing.

¹² What shall I return to Jehovah for His benefits to me? ¹³ I will lift up the cup of salvation, and I will call on the name of Jehovah. ¹⁴ I will pay my vows to Jehovah now in the presence of all His people.

¹⁷ I will sacrifice to You the sacrifice of thanks and will call on the name of Jehovah. ¹⁸ I will pay my vows to Jehovah now in the presence of all His people,

¹ Praise Jehovah; for it is good to sing praise to our God; because praise is delightful and becoming.

⁴ When you vow a vow to God, do not wait to fulfill it. For He has no pleasure in fools. Fulfill that which you have vowed. ⁵ It is better that you should not vow, than that you should vow and not fulfill it.

² Take words with you and return to Jehovah. Say to Him, Take away all iniquity and receive us well, that we may repay with the calves of our lips.

¹⁵ Behold! The feet of Him bearing good news is on the mountains, making heard, Peace! O Judah, celebrate your feasts; fulfill your vows; for the worthless will not continue to pass through among you; he is completely cut off.

¹ Therefore, brothers, I call on you through the compassions of God to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, pleasing to God, which is your reasonable service.

¹⁸ In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you.

¹⁵ Then through Him let us offer up a sacrifice of praise to God always, that is, the fruit of the lips, confessing to His name.

⁵ you also as living stones are being built a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

⁹ But you are "an elect race," "a royal priesthood," "a holy nation," "a people for possession," so that "you may openly speak of the virtues" of the One who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; LXX-Ex. 23:22; MT-Ex. 19:5, 6

¹² And when he was afflicted, he sought the face of Jehovah his God, and was humbled exceedingly before the face of the God of his fathers; ¹³ and prayed to Him, and He was entreated of him and heard his supplication, and returned him to Jerusalem to his kingdom; and Manasseh knew that Jehovah, He is God.

²⁷ You shall make your prayer to Him, and He will hear you; and you shall pay your vows.

²³ You who fear Jehovah, praise Him; all the seed of Jacob, glorify Him; and all the seed of Israel, fear Him.

³ O magnify Jehovah with me; and let us exalt His name together. ⁴ I sought Jehovah, and He answered me, and delivered me out of all my fear.

¹³ I will go into Your house with burnt offerings; I will pay You my vows, ¹⁴ which my lips have opened, and my mouth has spoken in my trouble. ¹⁵ I will offer burnt sacrifices of fatlings to You, with the incense of rams; I will offer bulls with goats. Selah. ¹⁶ Come, hear, and let me tell, all you who fear God, what He has done for my soul. ¹⁷ I cried to Him with my mouth, and exaltations were under my tongue. ¹⁸ If I had regarded iniquity in my heart, Jehovah would not have heard. ¹⁹ Surely, God has heard; He has attended to the voice of my prayer. ²⁰ Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer and His mercy from me!

² In the day of my distress I sought the Lord; my hand was open in the night and did not grow numb; my soul refused to be comforted.

⁷ You called in distress, and I rescued you; I answered you in the secret place of thunder; I tested you at the waters of Meribah. Selah.

¹⁵ He shall call on Me and I will answer Him; I will be with Him in distress; I will rescue Him and honor Him.

⁶ and they cried to Jehovah in their distress; He delivered them from their straits. ⁷ And He guided them in the right way; to go to a city of dwelling. ⁸ Let them thank Jehovah for His mercy, and His wonders to the sons of man. ⁹ He satisfies the thirsty soul, and He fills the hungry soul with good. ¹⁰ Those who live in the darkness, and in the shadow of death, being prisoners in affliction and iron, ¹¹ because they rebelled against the words of God, and despised the counsel of the Most High; ¹² and He humbled their heart by toil; they stumbled, and none were helping; ¹³ and they cried to Jehovah in their distress; He saved them out of their distresses;

¹⁹ and they cried to Jehovah in their distress; He saved them from their straits;

²⁸ and they cry to Jehovah in their distress, and He saves them out of their straits.

¹⁶ So let your light shine before men, so that they may see your good works, and may glorify your Father in Heaven.

¹⁵ And one of them, seeing that he was cured, returned glorifying God with a loud voice. ¹⁶ And he fell on his face at His feet, thanking Him. And he was a Samaritan. ¹⁷ And answering, Jesus said, Were not the ten cleansed? But where are the nine? ¹⁸ Were not any found returning to give glory to God except this foreigner?

⁴⁴ And being in an agony, He prayed more intently. And His sweat became as drops of blood falling down onto the earth.

⁸ In this My Father is glorified, that you should bear much fruit; and you will be My disciples.

²⁵ And having prayed, toward midnight Paul and Silas praised God in a hymn. And the prisoners listened to them.

¹³ Does anyone suffer ill among you? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him praise in song.

¹¹ If anyone speaks, let it be as the words of God; if anyone ministers, as by strength which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ; to whom is the glory and the might forever and ever. Amen.

¹⁴ If you are reviled in the name of Christ, you are blessed, because "the Spirit of God and of glory rests on you." Truly, according to them, He is blasphemed; but according to you, He is glorified. Isa. 11:2

¹⁴ The secret of Jehovah is with those who fear Him; and He will make them know His covenant.

³⁶ But they flattered Him with their mouths, and with their tongues lied to Him. ³⁷ For their heart was not steadfast with Him; and they were not faithful in His covenant. ³⁸ But He being merciful atoned for iniquity and did not destroy; and He added to turn away His anger, and did not stir up all his wrath.

⁷ As the legs of the lame are weak, so a proverb in the mouth of fools.

¹¹ What good to Me are your many sacrifices, says Jehovah? I am full of burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fattened cattle, and the blood of bulls; nor do I delight in the blood of lambs and he goats. ¹² When you come to see My face, who has required this at your hand, to trample My courts? ¹³ Do not add to bringing vain sacrifice; its incense is an abomination to Me. I cannot endure the new moon and sabbath, the going to meeting, and the evil assembly. ¹⁴ My soul hates your new moons and your appointed feasts. They are a burden to Me. I am weary of bearing them . ¹⁵ And when you spread out your hands, I will hide My eyes from you. Yea, when you multiply prayer, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood.

¹³ And the Lord says, Because this people draws near with its mouth, and they honor Me with its lip; but its heart is far from Me, and their fear of Me is taught by the command of men;

¹ Hear this, O house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel, and have come out from the waters of Judah, who swear by Jehovah's name and profess by the God of Israel, not in truth or in righteousness. ² For they are called of the holy city, and rest themselves on the God of Israel; Jehovah of Hosts is His name.

²² There is no peace, says Jehovah, to the wicked.

⁶ Seek Jehovah while He may be found; call on Him while He is near. ⁷ Let the wicked forsake his way and the vain man his thoughts; and let him return to Jehovah, and He will have mercy on him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.

¹ Call out with the throat! Do not spare. Lift up your voice like the ram's horn! And show My people their rebellion, and their sins to the house of Jacob. ² Yet they seek Me day by day, and desire knowledge of My ways. As a nation that has done right, and not forsaking the judgment of their God, they ask Me about judgments of righteousness; they desire to draw near to God. ³ They say, Why have we fasted, and You did not see? We have afflicted our soul, and You did not acknowledge. Behold, on the day of your fast you find pleasure; and you drive all your laborers hard. ⁴ Look! You fast for strife, and for debate, and to strike with the fist of wickedness. Do not fast as today, to sound your voice in the high place. ⁵ Is this like the fast I will choose, a day for a man to afflict his soul? To bow his head down like a bulrush, and he spreads sackcloth and ashes? Will you call to this as a fast and a day of delight to Jehovah? ⁶ Is this not the fast I have chosen: to open bands of wickedness, to undo thongs of the yoke, and to let the oppressed ones go free; even that you pull off every yoke? ⁷ Is it not to break your bread to the hungry, that you should bring the wandering poor home? When will you see the naked and cover him; and you will not hide yourself from your flesh?

⁴ Do not trust yourself to lying words, saying, The temple of Jehovah! The temple of Jehovah! This is the temple of Jehovah! ⁵ For if you thoroughly amend your ways and your doings; if you truly practice justice between a man and his neighbor; ⁶ if you do not oppress the stranger, the orphan, and the widow; and do not shed innocent blood in this place, or walk after other gods to your hurt; ⁷ then I will let you dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, from forever and to forever.

²⁷ And when the wicked turns from his wickedness that he has done and does justice and righteousness, he shall keep his soul alive.

³⁷ And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant. ³⁸ And I will purge from among you the rebels and the transgressors against Me. I will bring them out of the land where they reside. and they shall not enter into the land of Israel. And you shall know that I am Jehovah.

³ But why do you look on the twig that is in the eye of your brother, but do not see the log in your eye? ⁴ Or how will you say to your brother, Allow me to cast out the twig from your eye; and behold, the log is in your eye! ⁵ Hypocrite, first cast the log out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to cast the twig out of the eye of your brother.

²² Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name do many works of power? ²³ And then I will declare to them, I never knew you; "depart from Me, those working lawlessness!" Psa. 6:8

²⁴ God is a spirit, and the ones worshiping Him must worship in spirit and truth.

¹³ But certain from the strolling Jews, exorcists, undertook to name the name of the Lord Jesus over those having evil spirits, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches. ¹⁴ And there were seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, doing this. ¹⁵ But answering the evil spirit said, I know Jesus, and I comprehend Paul, but who are you? ¹⁶ And the man in whom was the evil spirit leaped on them, and overcoming them, he was strong against them, and having been wounded, they fled out of the house naked.

¹⁷ Behold, you are called a Jew, and rest in the Law, and boast in God, ¹⁸ and know the will, and approve the things excelling, being instructed out of the Law, ¹⁹ and persuading yourself to be a guide of blind ones, a light to those in darkness, ²⁰ an instructor of foolish ones, a teacher of infants, having the form of knowledge and of the truth in the Law. ²¹ Then the one teaching another, do you not teach yourself? The one preaching not to steal, do you steal? ²² The one saying not to commit adultery, do you commit adultery? The one detesting the idols, do you rob temples? ²³ You who boast in Law, do you dishonor God through transgression of the Law? ²⁴ For the name of God is blasphemed among the nations through you, even as it has been written: Isa. 52:5

²⁷ but I buffet my body and lead it captive, lest proclaiming to others I myself might be rejected.

⁹ not according to the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day of My taking hold of their hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in My covenant, and I did not regard them, says the Lord.

¹⁵ forsaking a straight path, they went astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness,

⁹ and you did evil above all who have been before you, and went and made for yourself other gods and molten images to provoke Me to anger; and you have cast Me behind your back

²⁶ But they were disobedient, and rebelled against You, and cast Your law behind their backs. And they killed Your prophets who testified against them, to turn them to You. And they worked great blasphemies.

⁷ The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.

²⁸ Then they shall call on me, and I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me. ²⁹ Instead they hated knowledge and chose not the fear of Jehovah.

¹² and say, How I have hated instruction, and my heart despised correction; ¹³ and I have not bowed to the voice of my teachers, nor bowed my ears to those instructing me.

³⁶ But he who sins against me does violence to his own soul; all who hate me love death.

¹ Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is like a brute animal.

²³ who justify the wicked for a bribe, and turn aside the righteousness of the righteous from him!

⁹ The wise are ashamed; they are terrified and are captured. Behold, they have rejected the word of Jehovah, and what wisdom is theirs?

¹² And they say, It is hopeless. For we will walk after our own thoughts, and we will each one do according to the stubbornness of his evil heart.

²³ And it happened, when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, he cut it with the scribe's knife and threw it into the fire in the fire-pan, until all the roll was burned up in the fire that was in the fire-pan ²⁴ Yet the king and all his servants who heard these words were not afraid, nor did they tear their garments. ²⁵ But Elnathan, and Delaiah, and Gemariah had pleaded with the king that he should not burn the roll, but he would not listen to them. ²⁶ And the king commanded Jerahmeel, the son of Hammelech, and Seraiah, the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah, the son of Abdeel, to seize Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet. But Jehovah hid them. ²⁷ Then the word of Jehovah was to Jeremiah, after the king had burned the roll and the words which Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah, saying, ²⁸ Take for yourself another roll, and write on it all the former words that were in the first roll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah has burned. ²⁹ And you shall say to Jehoiakim the king of Judah, So says Jehovah, You have burned this roll, saying, Why have you written on it, saying, The king of Babylon shall surely come and destroy this land, and shall cause man and beast to cease from there? ³⁰ Therefore, so says Jehovah of Jehoiakim, king of Judah: There shall not be one to him to sit on the throne of David, and his dead body shall be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost. ³¹ And I will punish him and his seed and his servants for their sin. And I will bring on them, and on the people of Jerusalem, and on the men of Judah, all the evil that I have spoken against them. But they did not listen. ³² Then Jeremiah took another roll and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah, who wrote in it from the mouth of Jeremiah, all the words of the book which Jehoiakim, king of Judah, had burned in the fire. And many words like them were added to them.

²⁰ For everyone practicing wickedness hates the Light, and does not come to the Light, that his works may not be exposed.

²⁸ And even as they did not think fit to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do the things not right,

²¹ Then the one teaching another, do you not teach yourself? The one preaching not to steal, do you steal? ²² The one saying not to commit adultery, do you commit adultery? The one detesting the idols, do you rob temples? ²³ You who boast in Law, do you dishonor God through transgression of the Law?

¹⁰ and in all deceit of unrighteousness in those being lost, because they did not receive the love of the truth in order for them to be saved. ¹¹ And because of this, God will send to them a working of error, for them to believe the lie, ¹² that all may be judged, those not believing the truth, but who have delighted in unrighteousness.

³ For a time will be when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own lusts, they will heap up to themselves teachers tickling the ear; ⁴ and they will turn away the ear from the truth and will be turned aside to myths.

¹⁰ And a man who commits adultery with a man's wife, who commits adultery with the wife of his neighbor, the adulterer and the adulteress are surely to be put to death.

⁹ If my heart has been enticed by a woman; or I have laid wait at my neighbor's door, ¹⁰ let my wife grind to another, and let others crouch over her. ¹¹ For that would be an evil scheme, and is iniquity for judges.

¹⁰ My son, if sinners lure you, do not be willing. ¹¹ If they say, Walk with us, let us lie in wait for blood, let us secretly lurk for the innocent without cause, ¹² let us swallow them up alive as Sheol; and whole, as those who go down into the Pit, ¹³ we shall find all precious goods; we shall fill our houses with plunder; ¹⁴ cast in your lot among us; one purse shall be to all of us. ¹⁵ My son, do not walk in the way with them! Hold back your foot from their path; ¹⁶ for their feet run to evil and they haste to shed blood. ¹⁷ For in vain the net is spread in the sight of every bird. ¹⁸ And they lie in wait for their own blood; they lurk secretly for their own souls. ¹⁹ So are the ways of everyone who gets unjust gain; it takes away its owner's soul.

¹⁶ These will deliver you from the strange woman, from the foreigner who flatters with her words, ¹⁷ who forsakes the guide of her youth and forgets the covenant of her God. ¹⁸ For her house leads down to death, and her tracks to the departed spirits. ¹⁹ All going in to her do not return, nor do they reach the ways of life.

¹⁹ For my husband is not at his house; he is going in the way, far away. ²⁰ He has taken a bag of silver in his hand; at the day of the full moon he will enter his house. ²¹ With the sum of her persuasion she turned him aside; with the flattering of her lips she forced him. ²² He goes after her immediately, as an ox goes to the slaughter; or as one in fetters goes to the correction of a fool, ²³ until an arrow strikes through his liver, as a bird hastens to the snare, and not knowing that it is for his soul.

⁸ They were like lusty, well fed stallions in the morning, everyone neighing after the wife of his neighbor. ⁹ Shall I not judge for these things, says Jehovah? And shall not My soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

³ Both palms are on evil, to do it well. The ruler is asking for a bribe, also the judge. And the great one speaks the lust of his soul; he acts, and they weave it together.

³⁰ And you say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.

³² who knowing the righteous order of God, that those practicing such things are worthy of death, not only do them, but also applaud those practicing them .

¹¹ And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them . ¹² For it is shameful even to speak of the things being done by them in secret. ¹³ But all things being exposed by the light are clearly revealed, for everything having been revealed is light.

²² Lay hands quickly on no one, nor share in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.

⁴ Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled; but God will judge fornicators and adulterers.

⁹ For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is engulfing ruin; their throat is an open grave; they flatter with their tongue.

⁷ His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and injury; under his tongue are mischief and vanity.

² They speak vanity, each man with his neighbor; with flattering lips and a double heart they speak. ³ Jehovah shall cut off all with flattering lips and the tongue that speaks great things;

³ The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit; he ceases to act wisely, to do good. ⁴ He plots evil on his bed; he sets himself on a way that is not good; he does not hate evil.

² Like a sharp razor, your tongue devises ruin, working deceit. ³ You love evil more than good; lying more than to speak righteousness. Selah. ⁴ You love all devouring words, O deceitful tongue!

¹² For it is not an enemy reproaching me, or I could bear it; it is not one who hates me who is magnifying himself against me; or I would hide myself from him.

²¹ The butterings of his mouth were smooth, and war was in his heart; his words were softer than oil, but they were as drawn swords.

³ who sharpen their tongue like a sword; they tread their arrows, a bitter word, ⁴ so that they may shoot at the innocent from a lurking place; suddenly they shoot at him, and fear not. ⁵ They make themselves strong in an evil plan; they talk of laying snares secretly; they say, Who shall see them?

³ For your hands are defiled by blood; yea, your fingers with iniquity. Your lips have spoken falsehood; your tongue murmurs perverseness. ⁴ No one calls for righteousness; and no one pleads with truth. Trusting emptiness, and speaking vanity, they conceive mischief, and give birth to evil.

⁵ And everyone will deceive his neighbor, and they will not speak the truth. They have taught their tongue to speak lies. They weary themselves to commit iniquity.

² Swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and the committing of adultery increase. And blood touches against blood.

¹³ "Their throat is an opened grave;" "they used deceit with their tongues; the poison of asps is under their lips; ¹⁴ whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.

⁵ So also the tongue is a little member, and boasts great things. Behold, how little a fire kindles how large a forest! ⁶ And the tongue is a fire, the world of iniquity. So the tongue is set among our members, spotting all the body, and inflaming the course of nature, and having been inflamed by Hell. ⁷ For every species of beasts, both indeed of birds, of creeping things, and of sea animals, is tamed, and has been tamed by the human species; ⁸ but no one of men is able to tame the tongue; it is an evil that cannot be restrained, full of death-dealing poison. ⁹ By this we bless God and the Father; and by this we curse men having come into being according to the image of God. Gen. 1:26

⁸ But for the cowardly and unbelieving, and those having become foul, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all the lying ones, their part will be in the Lake burning with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.

¹⁶ You shall not go as a slanderer among your people; you shall not stand up against the blood of your neighbor; I am Jehovah.

¹⁸ Let the lying lips be silenced which speak recklessly against the righteous with pride and scorn.

¹⁸ He who hides hatred with lying lips, and he who sends out a slander, he is a fool.

¹¹ Blessed are you when they shall reproach you, and persecute you, and shall say every evil word against you, lying, on account of Me.

²¹ But brother will betray brother to death, and the father his child. And children will rise up against parents and will put them to death.

⁶⁵ And blaspheming, many other things they said to Him.

¹¹ Likewise, their wives to be reverent, not slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things.

³ aged women likewise in reverent behavior, not slanderers, not having been enslaved by much wine, teachers of good,

¹⁰ And I heard a great voice saying in Heaven, Now has come the salvation and power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of His Christ, because the accuser of our brothers is thrown down, the one accusing them before our God day and night.

¹⁴ And God said to Moses, I AM THAT I AM; and He said, you shall say this to the sons of Israel, I AM has sent me to you.

¹⁹ God is not a man that He should lie, or a son of man that He should repent. Has He said, and shall He not do it? And has He spoken, and shall He not make it good?

³ Our God comes, and He is not silent; a fire shall devour before Him; and it shall be very stormy around Him.

⁸ I will not reprove you for your sacrifices; yea, your burnt offerings are continually before Me;

¹¹ And they say, How does God know? And, Is there knowledge in the Most High?

⁸ You have set our iniquities before You, our secret sins in the light of Your face.

⁷ Yet they say, The Lord shall not see, nor shall the God of Jacob observe. ⁸ Understand you beastly ones among the people; yea, you fools, when will you be wise? ⁹ He who planted the ear, shall He not hear? He who formed the eye, shall He not see? ¹⁰ He who chastises the nations, shall He not punish, He who teaches man knowledge? ¹¹ Jehovah knows the thoughts of man, that they are vain.

¹ To the chief musician, A Psalm of David. O God of my praise, do not be silent; ² for the mouth of the wicked, and the deceitful mouth, are opened against me; they spoke against me with a lying tongue. ³ And they hemmed me in with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.

¹ A man who hardens his neck when reproved shall be suddenly broken, and there will be no healing.

¹¹ Where sentence on an evil work is not executed speedily, on account of this the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. ¹² Though a sinner does evil a hundred times, and his days are prolonged to him, yet surely I know that it shall be well to those who fear God, who fear before Him.

¹⁴ For God shall bring every work into judgment, with all that is hidden, whether it is good, or whether it is evil.

¹⁰ The wicked finds favor; he does not learn righteousness; he deals perversely in the land of honesty, and does not see the majesty of Jehovah.

¹⁵ Lo, nations are as a drop from a bucket, and are reckoned as dust of the scales. Lo, He takes up coasts as a little thing. ¹⁶ And Lebanon is not enough to burn, nor are its beasts enough for a burnt offering. ¹⁷ All the nations are as nothing before Him; to Him they are reckoned less than nothing and emptiness. ¹⁸ And to whom will you liken God? Or what likeness will you array to Him?

¹⁴ I have forever kept silence; I have been quiet and refrained Myself; I will groan like a woman in travail; I will pant and gasp at once.

¹¹ And whom have you dreaded and feared? You have lied and have not remembered Me, not laying it on your heart. Have I not been silent, even from forever, and you have not feared Me?

⁷ Jehovah has sworn by the Pride of Jacob, Surely I will not ever forget all their works.

⁴ Or do you despise the riches of His kindness, and the forbearance and the longsuffering, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance? ⁵ But according to your hardness and your impenitent heart, do you treasure up to yourself wrath in a day of wrath, and revelation of a righteous judgment of God?

⁵ Then do not judge anything before time, until the Lord comes, who will both shed light on the hidden things of darkness and will reveal the counsels of the hearts. And then praise will be to each one from God.

⁹ The Lord of the promise is not slow, as some deem slowness, but is long-suffering toward us, not having purposed any of us to perish, but all of us to come to repentance.

¹⁹ I, as many "as I love, I rebuke and I chasten." Be zealous, then, and repent. Prov. 3:12

¹⁸ You forgot the Rock that brought you into being and ceased to care for God who formed you.

⁴² They looked, and there was none to save; to Jehovah, and He did not answer them.

¹³ So are the paths of all those forgetting God; and the hope of the ungodly shall perish;

² lest he tear my soul like a lion, ripping, and there be no one to deliver.

¹⁷ The wicked shall be turned to Sheol, all the nations forgetting God.

⁴ Through pride of his face, the wicked will not seek; there is no God in all of his schemes.

¹⁴ In the good day, be in good spirit, but also consider in the evil day, that God has made one along with the other, so that man should not find anything after him.

¹³ And you forget your Maker Jehovah, who has stretched out the heavens and founded the earth. And you dread continually, every day, from the fury of the oppressor, since he was ready to destroy. And where is the fury of the oppressor?

³² Can a virgin forget her finery, a bride her attire? Yet My people have forgotten Me days without number.

²⁸ Because he considers and turns from all his transgressions that he has done, surely he shall live; he shall not die.

⁶ My people are cut off for lack of knowledge. Because you rejected the knowledge, I also rejected you from being priest to Me. Since you have forgotten the law of your God, I will forget your sons, even I.

¹⁴ For I am to Ephraim as the lion, and as the young lion to the house of Judah; I, even I, tear and go; I take away, and no one rescues.

⁸ I will meet them like a bereaved bear, and I will tear the lining of their heart; and as a lion, I will devour them there; the beast of the field shall tear them.

¹⁴ And refuge shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his power, nor shall the mighty deliver his life,

⁸ And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the nations, in the midst of many peoples, like a lion among the beasts of the forest, like a young lion among the flocks of sheep (who both tramples and tears in pieces if he passes through) and there is no one to snatch back.

⁵ And now, so says Jehovah of hosts: Set your heart on your ways!

¹⁷ But coming to himself he said, How many servants of my father have plenty of loaves, and I am perishing with famine.

¹⁶ And "they said to the mountains" and to the rocks, "Fall on us," and hide us from the face of the One sitting on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, Hos. 10:8 ¹⁷ because the great day of His wrath has come; and who is able to stand?

⁴ He who has clean hands and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul to guile, and has not sworn in deceit. ⁵ He shall lift up the blessing from Jehovah, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

¹⁴ Offer thanksgiving to God; and pay your vows to the Most High. ¹⁵ And call on Me in the day of distress; and I will save you; and you shall glorify Me.

⁹ Surely His salvation is near to fearers of Him, for glory to dwell in our land.

¹³ Righteousness shall go before Him and shall make a way for His footsteps.

⁹ All nations whom You have made shall come and worship before You; yea, Lord, they shall glorify Your name.

¹² With all my heart I will thank You, O Lord my God; and I will glorify Your name forevermore.

¹⁶ I will satisfy him with length of days and will make him see My salvation.

² Behold, God is my salvation! I will trust and not be afraid, for my strength and song is Jah Jehovah; yea, He has become my salvation.

¹⁷ Israel is saved in Jehovah with everlasting salvation. You shall not be ashamed nor disgraced to the forevers of eternity.

⁶ And He said, It is too little that You should be My servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved ones of Israel; I will also give You for a light of the nations, that You may be My salvation to the end of the earth.

⁵ My righteousness is near; My salvation went out; and My arms shall judge peoples; coastlands shall wait on Me, and they shall hope on My arm. ⁶ Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look to the earth beneath; for the heavens vanish like smoke, and the earth shall wear out like a garment; and its inhabitants shall die in the same way, but My salvation shall be forever, and My righteousness shall not be broken.

³⁰ because my eyes saw Your Salvation,

¹⁷ If anyone desires to do His will, he will know concerning the doctrine, whether it is of God, or I speak from Myself.

³¹ Then Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in Him, If you continue in My Word, you are truly My disciples. ³² And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

² one devout and fearing God, with all his household, both doing many alms to the people and praying continually to God. ³ About the ninth hour of the day, he saw plainly in a vision an angel of God coming to him, and saying to him, Cornelius! ⁴ And he was staring at him, and becoming terrified he said, What is it, Sir? And he said to him, Your prayers and your alms went up for a memorial before God.

¹⁴ who will speak words to you by which you and all your household will be saved.

²⁶ Men, brothers, sons of the race of Abraham, and the ones among you fearing God, to you the word of this salvation was sent.

⁶ that with one accord and with one mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁹ and for the nations to glorify God for mercy, even as it has been written, "Because of this I will confess to You in the nations, and I will give praise to Your name." Psa. 18:49

²⁴ and they glorified God in me.

¹⁶ And as many as shall walk by this rule, peace and mercy be on them and on the Israel of God.

²⁷ Only behave yourself worthily of the gospel of Christ, so that whether coming and seeing you or being absent, I hear the things concerning you, that you stand fast in one spirit and one soul, striving together in the faith of the gospel,

¹³ Who is wise and knowing among you? Let him show his works by his good behavior, in meekness of wisdom.

¹⁵ but according to the Holy One who has called you, you also become holy in all conduct;
